You sound like the perfect person to ask: is there a bipedal dinosaur out there, where, if it were contemporaneous with humans, be just about the right size for riding (no larger than the biggest warhorse) and unlikely to turn around and nom the rider's arm off when it got peckish? I'm looking to draw dinos as a mount in a fantasy series, and I haven't found that bipedal-herbivore-reasonable-size dino to inspire me yet.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
I'm still waiting to play this bad boy!!!

ReplyDeleteAn ostrich Dino like gallimimus would be about perfect. Go nuts with the feathers.
ReplyDeletePrehistoric kangaroo might make for an interesting mount, too. (Remember, the old ones were large, brawny, and walked instead of hopping)

And for a more tank-like mount, prehistoric wombats were HUGE and solid.
